First, RechargEast Magazine made a trip to the Ukrainian capital in April. Kiev hosted a one-day educational seminar, which gathered over 60 local remanufacturers and rechargers. The Kiev seminar was a small preparation and a good heat-up for the RechargEast 2008 show, which took place in the end of May. RechargEast shows are the most popular and significant event in the Russia and CIS aftermarket of imaging supplies. Without too many words in the opening, I would only like to invite you to have a look at the photos and feel the atmosphere reigning in Moscow on those pleasant May days in the coming pages of this edition. Second, a new Toshiba-copiers article and hand-on instructions for Dell 1320Cn Toner cartridge are present to your attention. You will also find a lot of interesting local and international aftermarket news. The summer is setting in; still, there are many things to be done. While thinking about your coming vacations, be proactive and enroll for the new edition of ReEurope Expo in September at www.reeuropeexpo.com to boost sales and product awareness as well as build new partnerships in Eastern and Central Europe.

Results T he curtain is down, the lights are off, the people went home – it is time to draw the results of the RechargEast 2008, which took place on May 21-23, 2008, in Moscow, Russia. Any exhibition is a serious enterprise, which represents a kind of a “blitzkrieg” – all responsibility is to be borne by the very days of the event, which are prepared for during one year. The results of the work done are seen only after the trade show has taken place. So, I suggest we go back to the trade show days and make a retrospective review of the most significant and interesting events. At the beginning of the last week, on May 20, passersby were surprised by the agitation at Pavilion 69 of the All-Russia Exhibition Center. That was the move-in day: the exhibitors were bringing in exhibits, decorations, samples and all other exhibition stuff. The partially solemn and partially nervous atmosphere preceding any event of this type set in. But, in spite of the preparation works, hurry and bustling, everything was in place by the evening. The only thing left was to have a good night’s sleep. On May 21 the trade show started. A long line of visitors formed rapidly in front of the registration, many of these holding preregistration tickets for free entry to the exhibition hall. Despite the fact that the registration of each visitor was done in no time, the line kept growing and it dispersed only in the afternoon. So, RechargEast 2008 began! RechargEast Trade Show 2008 took place in Moscow, Russia, for the 5th time in its history. RechargEast trade shows are the most significant event in the imaging supplies aftermarket in the Russian Federation and CIS countries. Reputed in such a manner, the trade show attracts a large number of foreign companies promoting their products at the international level. Covering one of the largest and most perspective markets in the 6 | RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com events world (Russia and CIS) the trade show helps non-Russia companies find local parents and network actively, which is mandatory for successful business in the region. Therefore, RechargEast shows are so popular with Asian and Western European supplies and distributors of raw materials and parts for the printer cartridge remanufacturing and recharging process. For local remanufacturing companies RechargEast shows have become the traditional meeting place very important for finding serious suppliers, for learning about industry news and for acquiring new practical knowledge and skills. In 2008 RechargEast show had changed its usual format. The exhibition was divided into two areas: in one area local companies presented its products, in the other foreign companies demonstrated its achievements as well as discussed collaborative perspectives with the largest local companies. In other words, foreign companies had a great chance of communicating with the most interesting visitors to them: companies, which import products for selling in their own countries. Let’s get to figures. According to the data presented by the Russian company LINTEK, the registration-desk sponsor 2008, over 2500 visits were registered during the 3 exhibition days. That is, almost 1500 remanufacturing specialists, salesmen, decision makers from the industry from different companies visited the exhibition during the 3-day period. This year the exhibition hosted two educational centers: - Technical seminars and lectures were organized at the booth of UNINET Imaging: the lectured were presented by Mike Josiah, one of the most renowned technical specialists from North America, who is a permanent author of technical article in RechargEast Magazine and many other industry publications. Mike demonstrated how to remanufacture a number of newly appeared models of laser cartridges. - Technical seminars and hands-on lessons were also held in the RechargEast Education Center. These seminars were offered to the public by Alexey Voevodin, a young and ambitious specialist from the Kiev-based company AlekhanService. His hands-on lectures were very interactive as all attendees could take part in the discussions and offer other solutions to the discussed instructions for cartridge remanufacturing. The two educational centers were full of curious visitors, who could take an active part in everything happening. Sometimes, the discussions would turn in fierce arguments, RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com | 7 events but, to put it mildly, there were no victims. During the seminars the organizers of the expo got valuable feedback from the guests as to what other topics should be covered at the coming editions of RechargEast shows. The day of May 22 was the “rush” period of the exhibition. At 11.00 the VIP forum sponsored by the Russian company IRWIN was opened. The forum gathered over 60 owners and top managers from local and foreign companies. The attendees discussed most urgent topics for the local and global aftermarket of imaging supplies for over 2 hours. The topics included the following: • Structure of the Chinese/Asian aftermarket of imaging supplies (OPC drums, toner, inks, etc.); • Role of international distributors and new industry growth perspectives; • Trends in aftermarket growth in Russia and CIS; • Structure of distribution networks in Russia; • Importance of Russia’s regions and how to find a regional partner; • The most common mistakes foreign companies make while working in Russia; • The most common mistakes Russian companies make while working in China and Asia. At times the atmosphere in the hall would seem to be going beyond control, but all discussions and arguments were within the framework of propriety and mutual respect. Of all the topics discussed the seeming expansion of Chinese manufacturers to the north was the most detailed and interesting to the attendees. All were interested that once there were so many Chinese companies at this year’s show (over 30% of all the exhibitors were from China), do that mean Chinese companies are undertaking a Crusade to conquer the markets of their northern neighbor? The vice-president of the China IT association present at the show reassured all the guests that Chinese companies are only interested in finding local partners. At the same time she mentioned the association intended to register a company in Russia to make it easier for Chinese companies to start working in Russia and CIS. After such discussions and conversations the guests of the forum passed to a less stressful part of the event – the cocktail and business card exchange. On May 23 a commission made of local and foreign exhibitors announced the winners of “The Most Active Russian Exhibitor ”. The prize was awarded to two local companies ITCO Trading and GEST since the jury’s votes were split by half. At the end of the exhibition, on May 23, the Russian company IRWIN organized the traditional competition “The Fastest RechargEast”. This year the competition rules were made 8 | RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com events more complex: besides being quick and skillful, the participants were to distinguish between 5 different OPC drums; each successful go would bring a point. The winner of the competition was the technician from the Ukrainian company World Wide Manufacturing. In order to draw the final line, it’s possible to say RechargEast 2008 was successful. It gave the exhibitors and visitors not only the possibility to communicate, but also a good chance of taking part in various educational and entertaining activities supposed for boosting their professional skills. Statistical information: RechargEast Trade Show 2008: • Number of visits during the 3 expo days: 2600 • Number of exhibitors and their partners: 63 companies • Exhibitors were from: 14 countries (Europe, Asia, North America) Visitors by countries of origin: • Russia – 82% • Ukraine – 7% • Belarus – 5% • Kazakhstan – 2% • Moldova, Estonia, Lithuania, Armenia, Azerbaijan – 4% The organizers would like to thank all the exhibitors and bring special thanks to the following companies, which sponsored a number of events during the 2008 trade show: • ALEKHAN-Service, Ukraine www.alekhan.com.ua • BULAT, Russia www.bulatgroup.ru • IRWIN, Russia www.refilling.ru • LINTEK, Russia www.lintek.ru www.rechargeastshow.com RCE RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com | 9 events RechargEast Magazin T he new RechargEast seminar in Kiev was a good rehearsal for the Moscow-based RechargEast 2008 Expo. The Ukrainian market of imaging supplies is a rather voluminous and valuable market, which is attractive to both local and foreign companies, wishing to be present there. As a result, two companies from Russian, one company from Ukraine and one from Germany took part in the seminar in quality of sponsors. These companies are well known to the industry specialists: these are the Ukrainian Group of companies V.M., the Russian Bulat and ITCO Trading as well as the German Integral International Gmbl. Such an international group of companies as well as a small number of such specialized events provoked a huge interest among local remanufacturers. This could be seen by the number of attendees: over 55 Ukrainian and Moldovan companies sent their representatives to visit the seminar in Kiev on April 22, 2008. This year’s seminar was a little different from the one held also in Kiev in 2006. in the morning the sponsors of the seminar held presentations about their companies, products and services as well as offered some technical lectures. 10 | RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com events Opens the Season in Kiev During the breaks the guests of the seminar had chance to talk to sponsors at their booths with advertising flyers, product samples and company booklets. In the afternoon the attendees and sponsors had a very interesting and useful conversation about the state of the local aftermarket of imaging supplies. The main topic dwelt on whether the Ukrainian aftermarket is ready for a specialized association. But, unfortunately, the consensus was hard to be reached. Nonetheless, the participants agreed to take a decision next year at a similar RechargEast seminar to be held again in the Ukrainian capital. After the talk the attendees took part in the technical lessons focusing merely on copiers and their main problems as well as laser printers and their repairs. During the preparation for the seminar RechargEast Magazine undertook a new experiment: the representative of our magazine together with a sponsor of the seminar visited 10 local companies. As a result of this initiative the sponsor found 4 new clients before the seminar began. This successful RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com | 11 events idea will also be offered during other RechargEast marketing events in Eastern Europe. As the sponsors mentioned, the seminar turned to be successful… First, I would like to thank the organizers for the excellent preparation work done. Good organization was seen throughout the whole length of the seminar. I would also point out the well-organized registration accompanied by distribution of advertising materials and samples. I also like the idea of having demonstration booths. The environment was really business-oriented and easy-going at the same time. The order of presentations and lectures was also well-thought. I would also mention the importance of organization of such events, where competing companies can present themselves and meet potential customers. Due to such events there are a lot of opportunities to build partnerships with Ukrainian companies and find ways of collaborating with foreign suppliers and distributors working with Ukraine. I think the success is based on namely such events, conversations, talks and meetings. To me, each participant was able to get all the marketing and technical information. My wish is that all the participants make their right choice as to suppliers and reach their ultimate business goal.” Artur Ziegler, Integral International Gmbl, Germany „The seminar was organized in a structured and well-thought manner. I would like to thank the organizers for the opportunity of meeting Ukrainian specialists and aftermarket companies. I am absolutely satisfied with the quality and outcome of the seminar and will surely take part in it in future.” Sergey Zhukov, ITCO Trading, Russia Website of RechargEast seminars: www.rce-university.com RCE 12 | RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com ATS BULGARIA Bulgaria Tsarigradsko shose 113, 1184 Sofia E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.atsbulgaria.com Tel: 00359 07001 7088 All That Ink-Europe The Netherlands Straelseweg 6-8, NL-5911 CP Venlo E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.allthatink.eu Tel. 0031 (0) 77 321 0055 Oasis Imaging Products BV The Netherlands Bijsterhuizen 20-18, 6604 LJ Wijchen E-mail: [email protected] Tel: +31 (0)24 388 2233 Fax: +31 (0)24 355 7373 specialist guide Remanufacturing the Dell 1320Cn Toner Cartridge By Mike Josiah and the Technical Staff at Summit Technologies, a division of UniNet Imaging Inc. Mike Josiah VP Technical Services Summit Technologies is a global distributor of toner, OPC drums, wiper blades, and other supplies for the cartridge remanufacturing industry. From 2007 Summit Technologies is a subdivision of Uninet Imaging. We have searched the world to find the finest in toner and components for the remanufacturing of laser cartridges. We have never committed ourselves to purchasing from any exclusive manufacturer, so that we can choose the best solutions for our customers. In some cases this has meant a higher cost, but we believe that quality is paramount in this industry. We test each system to ASTM standards and stand 100% behind the toners, components and systems we offer. Summit Technologies offers some of the most comprehensive technical support and complete product line in the industry.

The toner cartridges are very small and very easy to do. In fact, this is most likely one of the simplest cartridges I have ever written about. At the time of this writing Dell was selling these machines for $229.00 after a $70.00 instant rebate. With prices like that and the yield so low on the toner cartridges combined with Dell’s cost on them, anyone who has this machine will be looking to save some money on the cartridges. There is a chip on the cartridge that has to be replaced every cycle and these chips are available. The machines when new come with LY cartridges. These cartridges are physically identical to the HY so they can easily be made into the HY cartridge. The Dell 1320Cn machines also use a unique single drum cartridge that has all four drums in it. (See Figure 1). This cartridge will be covered in a later instruction. Part numbers from Dell never seem to be all that clear so I am listing them in all the versions I found. The majority of the LY numbers are taken from the Staples web site: HY Black HY Cyan HY Magenta HY Yellow 310-9058 310-9060 310-9064 310-9062 593-10258 593-10259 593-10261 593-10260 LY Black LY Cyan LY Magenta LY Yellow 310-9059 310-9061 310-9065 310-9063 RY857 RY854 RY855 RY856 719011 719019 718936 718934 MT234/RY857 MT235/RY854 MT237/RY855 MT236/RY856 14 | RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com specialist guide 1 5 These are extremely fast and easy cartridges to do and should prove to be a nice profit center for you. All four of the toner cartridges are different in that they each have unique tabs on the back that prevent one color from being inserted into another color’s slot. See Figures 2, 3, 4 & 5. 1) Toner approved vacuum. 2) A small Common screw driver REQUIRED SUPPLIES 2 100g 1320 Color Toner Replacement chip Cotton swabs Soft, lint free wipes 1) Remove the black tape from the seam of the supply hopper and the waste chamber. Save the tape for use when re-assembling the cartridge. See Figure 6 6 3 2) Press in on the two tabs of one side as shown to release the waste chamber. It is sometimes helpful to press back on the waste chamber as the tabs are pressed in. See Figure 7 4 7 RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com | 15 specialist guide 3) Clean out any waste toner from the chamber. See Figure 8 11 8 6) Check to make sure the slide cover of the hopper is clean and in the proper place. See Figure 12 4) Remove the supply hopper cover. Clean out any remaining toner. See Figure 9 12 9 6) Fill the hopper with the appropriate color toner. Remember, while the cartridges all look the same, they are not interchangeable. Each color has a different set of plastic tabs. See Figure 13, Figures 2-5 for the tabs. 5) With a clean lint free cloth, wipe down the seals on both sides of the cover. No chemicals are needed to clean it, just the cloth. See Figures 10 & 11 13 10 7) Clean the plastic lip where the hopper cover sits of any toner, replace the cover.

Make sure all four tabs are locked in place. See Figures 16, 17 & 18 9) Re-install the black tape seal across the seam. If the OEM tape is not useable, good black Rubber electrical tape (NOT the vinyl type) will work fine. (Toner will stick to anything made from vinyl). See Figure 19 10) Carefully pry up the plastic chip holder tab. See Figure 20 20 16 11) Slide the holder out of the cartridge and replace the chip. See Figures 21 & 22 17 18 | RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com 21 specialist guide 22 PRINTING A TEST PAGE: Press and hold the CONTINUE button for a few seconds.

Vladimir Kamenov, PhD A s a logical progression to our series of articles, about Toshiba analog copiers, comes the current and last addition. By “last” I mean that there is not particular interest in discussing the high end copiers over 50 copies per minute, because they are relatively rare and not many technicians get a chance to work on them. The next addition to the series of articles will cover the most common and distinct defects, found in the previously discussed models, but not before we familiarize ourselves with the middle class analog copiers of the 60th series. See figure 1. Vladimir Kamenov, PhD, is a specialist in maintenance of various models of Toshiba copiers. He holds a master’s degree in Precision Mechanics and a PhD degree in Applied Mechanics. His work experience includes part-time and full-time jobs as service engineer. He also lectures at the Sofia Technical University, Precision Mechanics Department, Office Equipment Specialty.

There is a variety of ad-on options the user can choose to attach such as: 10 and 20 bin sorters with staplers, large capacity feeders LCF, automatic and reversing document feeders ADF and RADF and automatic duplexing unit ADU. The maintenance and troubleshooting of these options will be discussed in a separate article to come. In the current article the 2060 model is used as a basis, because the other models have generally the same structure apart from subtle differences in mechanical design, related to the higher copying speeds and the resulting higher durability demands. few sample copies for later comparison. 3. Turn off the power switch and disconnect the power cord plug. (2) The periodic inspection should be conducted in accordance with the Periodic Inspection Check List shown below. Perform the inspection by referring to the figures, as well as to the explanations in the Service Manual when necessary. (3) After the inspection has been completed, plug in the machine and turn the power switch on, and confirm the general operation of the machine by making a few copies and comparing them to those made previously. Inspection and Overhaul every 240,000 Copies These machines are the backbone of the copying industry in many countries in Eastern Europe. Found in many offices and copy centers, they are tough, reliable and easy to maintain. It is now uncommon to maintain copiers which made 2, even 3 million copies. This fact speaks of the reliability of the design of these copiers. Even more – most of the parts and systems are designed as a module, which makes it very easy for a service technician to remove, replace and service them. Of course, there are underwater stones. Some of the modules require special attention after a certain period of useful service. From my experience, the first 400 000 to 600 000 copies period passes almost routinely. During this period the only necessary work to do is to make periodic maintenance, cleaning and a scheduled replacement of the parts from the periodic replacement checklist shown below. How ever there are some tricks, which can prolong the life of some parts, such as: the silicone felt cleaning roller, the aligning roller, the paper pick up and feed rollers. For example: given the machine is maintained properly the OPC drum can easily make twice the normal copies recommended by the manufacturer. After the 400 000 to 600 000 period it is possible to encounter a variety of defects in certain modules such as the fuser, developer, feeding and drive system modules. (1) Replace all the consumables. (2) Check to see if there is any damage to the parts of driving section (gear, pulley, timing belt, etc.). Replace parts on principle if damaged. (3) Check to see if there is any damage or peeling of adhered parts (tape, Mylar sheet, etc.). Replace any affected parts. (4) Check to see if all the switches and sensors operate properly. Replace them if they are not operating properly. (5) Clean the inside of the machine thoroughly. Periodic Inspection Check List On figure 2 and 3 you can see the actual position of item numbers in the list bellow: Symbols used in the Periodic Inspection Check List: How ever there is nothing to worry – there will be a special article dedicated only to defects not mentioned in the service manual. As I always mention: most of the defects in copiers that are still under 400 000 copies are due to poor maintenance and cleaning. 1.

A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Remove screw B and unplug terminal C. Gently pull out the developer/image formation module. Place it on a flat, clean surface and cover it with a newspaper so as no light comes in contact with the OPC drum. See figure 7. Optical section: 1. Remove screws A and the original glass retaining plate. Remove the original glass and clean it both sides with window cleaner. Note – do not remove screws B. They are used for correction of image skew and registration of the copy image. 2. Remove screws C. Remove the lens cover D, carefully in the direction E, careful not to break the drive tooth belt of the lens assembly and the carriage drive wire. See figure 5. D E B C A B C 5 A C B 7 2. Remove the mirror 6 slit window cover by inserting a finger in place A, pushing a tab in direction B and pulling the cover out in direction C. Clean the glass with window cleaner both sides. See figure 8. A A B 3. Clean with dry lint free cloth mirrors 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 as well as the expo-lamp reflector A. 4. Clean with isopropyl alcohol the sliders B and C of the carriage 1 and 2. Note – be careful not to bend carriage 3, because it is mounted only to the rear side of the copier. Bending will result in copy image skew. See figure 6. 8 C 6 4 3 A 5 2 3. Clean mirror 6 with window cleaner. Clean the LED eraser array A and discharge lamps array B with a cloth, soaked with window cleaner. This should remove the tar deposited on them due to the static electricity. This is an important step in improving the image quality. See figure 9. B 1 9 C B A 6 MAIN BODY OF THE MACHINE: 1. Open the front cover of the machine. Push the blue knob in direction A and split the copier in two halves. Remove and clean the waste toner container. Remove the toner container. 30 | RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com specialist guide 4. Unscrew partially screw A until the transfer/separation corotron can be lifted. Lift it partially and unplug terminal B. Remove the assembly paying attention to the way the corotron is attached in the rear end C. 5. Remove screws D and the registration roller cleaning felt E. Clean the felt with vacuum cleaner from the paper dust. Using a cloth soaked with rubber roller cleaning fluid, rub the registration roller F until you can touch clean rubber. This is an important step, because a dirty roller can cause registration (misalignment) problems with the copy. See figure 10. C D 8. Remove two screws A and the ozone filter cover. Remove the ozone filter B and clean it both sides with vacuum cleaner. Remove screw C, unplug the two terminals under the transport belt assembly D and remove it in direction E. Clean the area behind the filter with the vacuum cleaner as well as the inside of the machine. Pay special attention to the area around the front and rear corotron terminals and the high voltage assembly F. If there is any developer material on it you may experience all sorts of image quality problems. See figure 13. E B D A 6. Remove screws A and the front fuser cover. Using a short screwdriver remove screws B and the red fuser cover in direction C. Pay attention to the two teeth holding the cover to the unit. Also when you insert your hand be careful not to bend or break the exit sensor D. See figure 11. 11 B C B A 10 F D 12 13 A B A D E F C B A A 9. Turn the machine to 180 degrees. Remove the upper rear cover, by removing the 5 screws that hold it. Located on the cover is an optical fan filter. Clean it carefully with a vacuum cleaner. Clean the whole back side of the machine. See figure 14. 14 7. Unplug the three connectors at the rear end of the fuser unit. Remove screw A and pay attention to the hole it is screwed in. The right one is the circular, not the prolonged. Carefully pull out the fuser unit in direction B. Pay attention the fuser lamp ends, the paper exit sensor and the power supply front switch. See figure 12. RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com | 31 specialist guide Paper feeding section: 17 10. Remove the two pins that hold the front cover of the machine in direction A. Be careful not to press down too hard the cover, because the hinge assembly is made of plastic and it can break. Advice the operators of the machine to be careful too every time they open the cover. This is one of the few weak spots of these models. A break will lead to intermediate paper jams, due to “front cover open “condition detected by the copier. See figure 15. 15 A A CLEANING THE MODULES OF THE MACHINE Feeder unit: 1. Clean with rubber cleaning fluid and a cloth, the pick up A, feed B and separation C rollers. See figure 18. 18 C 11. Open the LCF unit A. Pull out and lift up all the paper trays the copier has. In case of a presence of a paper feed pedestal, there will be 4 or 5 trays (if ADU is not installed). The procedure described here is valid for removing the paper feed units of all 5 slots. Remove the cover B of paper feed unit’s terminal connection with the copier. Unplug the connector too. See figure 16. 16 B A B A Transfer/separation corotron assembly: 1. Remove the protective grid A by pushing the 4 tabs. Remove the terminals protective covers B. Using a vacuum cleaner and a soft brush clean the inside of the assembly, especially the terminals. Be careful not to tear the corotron wires. After you have removed the toner and developer deposits, clean thoroughly by using cotton swabs dipped in window cleaner fluid. From my experience this is the only efficient cleaning agent for this type of dirt deposits. See figure 19. B A B 19 Image formation/developer module: 12. Remove screws A and unplug connector B. Carefully remove the feeder unit in direction C. See figure 17. 32 | RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com 1. Squeeze the bracket A and remove it in direction B. Lift the main corotron assembly in direction C and remove it, careful not to scratch the OPC drum. Lift the bracket D and push down bracket E. Carefully separate the imaging unit from the specialist guide developer unit. Put the imaging unit on a flat clean surface and shade it with a piece of paper. As you know the OPC drum if PHOTO sensitive. See figure 20. C 20 B D Fusing unit: 1. Remove screws A and the silicone roller cover B. Remove the springs underneath. Pay attention to the place of the springs. They are not the same type – the one on the geared side of the silicone roller is stiffer than the other. Remove the roller itself. Remove screws C and remove the upper separation fingers assembly. Inspect and replace them if needed. See figure 23. A E 23 B A A C Main charger: 1. Push the grid A in direction B and detach it from the hooks at the rear end. Spray the grid with a window cleaner and brush it both sides. Dry it with a lint free cloth. If there are any fibers left brush them off. This is important for the copy image quality. Using cotton swabs and window cleaner, clean the corotron assembly and the wire itself. See figure 21. 21 A B C 2. Remove screws A and the upper fuser roller cleaning blade B. Remove screws C and the thermo fuse D. Clean it with acetone. Remove screws E and the plate F. Remove screws G and the two thermistors. Clean them with acetone. See figure 24. F 24 C G E Developer unit: 1. Clean the unit with vacuum cleaner (of course the developer layer on the developer roller shouldn’t be vacuumed). Don’t turn the unit up side down as the developer material will spill out. Clean underneath the developer roller. If there is too much toner, that is an indicator the developer material is worn and needs to be replaced. Rotate the input gear of the unit in direction A. If there is too much torque needed this is an indicator of a mechanical failure that will be discussed in following articles. However do not allow the operator to use the machine because this will lead to unneeded failures in the main drive assembly. Check if the developer roller spacers B are freely rotating. However, too much play is also an indicator for wear. See figure 22. D B E A A E 3. Remove the clip A and the hand-cranking shaft B. Remove 3 screws C and the lower separation fingers assembly. Clean them with acetone too. See figure 25. 25 22 A C A B B 34 | RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com C C B THIS AD WILL SAVE YOU a lot of time, money and frustration in finding the right supplier THAT is able to satisfy all your recycling needs 5 Oasis and you...succeeding together www.oasis-imaging.com Call your sales representative at Oasis-Europe: +31 24-388 2233, +31 24-355 7373/Fax specialist guide 4.

The MK Imaging solution is made of a specially formulated pulverized toner that has been engineered to behave similarly to magnetic polymerized toner when used in conjunction with a specifically engineered MK Imaging drum. Due to the specially engineered toner and OPC and the transference of fewer milligrams per page, the solution from MK Imaging w i l l not cause waste bin overflow. Because of these new P100x/P15xx series printers being monochrome with low printer speeds and the fact that MK Imaging is the only manufacturer who has full control of the toner and drum development as a true in-house system, MK Imaging was capable of formulating a pulverized toner that can be used in these applications. With these new printers as well as the new P4xxx series using magnetic polymerized toner, it looks as if magnetic polymerized toner is here to stay and represents future technology. Therefore, MK Imaging and DELACAMP have started the development of a chemical magnetic toner. DELACAMP is also offering Wiper Blades and Doctor Blades for the P1005, P1006, P1007, P1008, P1505, M1120, M1522. Chips, PCR, MRS, Seals and enlarged waste hoppers and toner hoppers are currently in testing.

The main problem is that the reman specialist does not know how the machine works and how much toner it uses. There are also other questions depending on the specificity of each individual business (noise, dimensions, etc.). Based on 18 years of experience in the industry, the company is a professional in toner matters. Toner microfine particle size and poor flow characteristics create a powdery mess when filling cartridges. To solve this problem, Dreamfill Inc. set its research team to develop a compact, efficient, easy-to-use system to help rechargers handle toner.

Interview with Karl Cerny and Thomas Wolf, Katun At Remax 2008 RechargEast Magazine’s representatives had chance to speak with the key persons from Katun’s European office. Karl Cerny, managing the activities of the company in Europe and Middle East, and Thomas Wolf, director for regional sales, were glad to answer a couple of questions of our magazine. The interview is presented below. RechargEast Magazine: What is the current situation of the market of printing supplies in Central and Eastern Europe from Katun’s standpoint? Is there room for further growing? Karl: It's very important that we have the right products that fit to the market needs, and our own market research shows that there's opportunity in Easter Europe's aftermarket industry for a fast and steady growth. As you know our key foundation has been on copier products and we just recently actually really went into the printer business and we're now offering quite a range of products for Western Europe which are more than just all-in-one cartridges. Thomas: Clearly, a much bigger opportunity in Eastern Europe is components and we have only a very small and limited portfolio of solutions for that market requirement, but even the small number of products that we have is already giving us a huge revenue and actually, in two or tree months we will enhance our portfolio for Eastern Europe so that we'll have very strong positions in the copiers and printers market, and that is very possible for us because our brand image. 52 | RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com The Katun name, is highly recognized, of high value, so with the brand, and the products for the EasternEuropean printer market we have a combination that enables us to operate in bigger and bigger volumes. RechargEast Magazine: How does Katun position itself on this dynamic market? Karl: We need to engage new channels for the printer business. What we're doing as we speak, we're enhancing our distribution capacities and just doing what is possible to understand the local environment. For example, Russia is a large country and there are different requirements in the different regions and other countries too. So, understanding the market environment, developing our distribution capacity and enhancing our product portfolio is, I guess, the key to success. Important thing is to have the proper relation with the customer and to offer the best service. It is not enough facts&opinions just to tell the price over the phone or to have a website where it can be checked. We have representatives that are dedicated to providing complete information about the product, that can help with any questions the customers might have and give the best overall performance. You can give information just by telephone, but if you really want to succeed, you have to convince the customer that this really is the best product, and you can only that with the proper representation and with committed customer services. RechargEast Magazine: What are the main directions the company takes up in its development? Thomas: The catalog initiatives that we have can be applied globally. We offer highly sophisticated print management to our customers, which is enabling them to offer cost-effective printing to their customers. That also applies to certain customers in Eastern Europe. We have a high interest in such products and solutions so we will try to develop the market as we're currently doing in Western Europe. Certain products that are today important in Western Europe are already similarly important in the closer countries from Eastern Europe, and will become more and more important. Karl: We also spend a significant amount of money on certain promotions and advertising to get our name know to people where there's not so much awareness of our company and with the strong local presence we can help local customers to do their business more professionally . RechargEast Magazine: What are the main perspectives and tracks Katun would like to undertake in future? Karl: Something that is very important, if you talk to customers in Western Europe what they will tell you is that our total logistics is based on the online catalog, that we have, to find products, to select products, to order products, and it is the absolute benchmark in the industry. Customers see our online catalog and services are better than any OEM services, and actually, this strength, that we have here, we haven't fully reached in Eastern Europe because it's too much dependant on the language, it is only for the minority of people who can understand English language. So, now having this tool in Russian language can help our customers, and our customers can forward the tool to their customers and therefore it's absolutely necessary to have it in Russian language in order for it to reach as many clients as possible. If you have such a great tool like an online catalog it is much easier. By using our online catalog our customers who are looking for a product can find easily where it is located and what is the OEM part number and the price, and for this we have downloadable material to make it even easier, and we have a great response for this service. Our experience is that even competitors like this so much they download our product information and provide it to their customers. RechargEast Magazine: What is the image of a supplier Katun wants and builds in customers’ heads? Thomas: The most important strength that we have, and I think we just need to continue with that, nothing new, but it can always be improved and enhanced , and maybe more and more people should know it, I think there are just a couple of top priorities to be set. It is perfect local representation, perfect service, by service I mean having the people, having the tools, the online catalog, it is clearly the ratio between price and quality, and this ratio is actually different in Western Europe, where there's a little bit higher quality but also maybe a little bit higher price, and in Eastern Europe you have different segments of requirements of the ratio between quality and price and in the past you'd only get one, the same as for the US and Western Europe, and now we have really learned and improved as to serve the local market with products that meet the local requirements according to the price perspective as well. What I face daily as an issue from some of our customers with some of our competitors is the problem of credibility. When customer needs some part numbers, so you need to wait for a week, but not with us, we have around six thousand part numbers in a huge central warehouse where everything can be done a lot faster and easier and any order we can track within hours or days. So, when a customer is experiencing problems with their supplier, then we are ready to offer a little bit more and be a reliable partner, because, in the end, you need the product, and you’d prefer the fastest and easiest way to get it. RCE www.katun.com RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com | 53 facts&opinions HOW MUCH SHOULD MY PRODUCT AND MY SERVICE COST? Part one: PRICE FORMATION Nikolai Yakimchuk C artridge remanufacturing and recharging have already become an attractive business. High prices for original imaging supplies make consumers look for a more accessible alternative. Once there is demand on the market, there will always be offer. In fact, such market conditions create an ideal situation, when the user has a choice to make: it can be an original, compatible, remanufactured or, at last, recharged cartridge. But technical skills of working with laser cartridges are just half the deal. It is also important to know how to offer and sell a product and service to the client. It’s often that startup businesses ask for how much to sell the cartridge or how much the remanufacturing or recharging service should cost. I think that any industry specialist would ask himself for many times how much his customer is to pay. After all, the goal of any company or any businessman is to create profit for himself so that to grow, expand or, sometimes, just survive on the market. From the beginning, I would like to say that the determination of the price of your product or service is not the easiest task. It’s absolutely simple to take a competitor’s price list and establish similar prices. It’s also possible to dump prices – to offer product at a lower prices than competition. But the two ways are destructive for the market. Why so? It’s more than simple: at an obviously low price for a similar product or service, sometimes businessmen are willing to increase the volume of sales by decreasing prices. Your competition may take up the challenge and diminish prices, too. You decrease price again, they do so, too. And the run-me game is on. Everything ends up by one party losing the game and getting out of the market as it is not profitable to sell this product. But the tragedy is that the winner stops the product line, too, as it’s not normal to sell beneath the cost of the product. That’s it! The market is dead. Once you are sure that the running game is not the most attractive enterprise, my suggestion is to pay attention to 54 | RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com price formation and building discussed below. I hope these could help you build a certain price policy, which will depend not only on your competition’s behavior, but also on the state of the markets you work on. In order to determine the price of your product/service, do your best in fixing the retail price of the product at the most optimal level. If your price is too high, the sales volume may drop. If you lower the price, the sales volume may grow, but the total profit will fall. When building final prices for your product or service it’s important TO SEE YOUR COSTS . Yes, costs are the main attributes in the product price. All costs can be virtually divided into two big groups: Fixed costs – these are the costs, which stay, more or less, constant throughout the production process, like the office rent, electricity, payroll, etc. Variable costs – these costs include, for example, raw material costs, that is, materials whose quantity is important to keep your business steadily working. It is logical that your product and service’s price should cover all the above costs and give a net profit for the business. Speaking the language of finances, the price of your product/ service should be higher than the prime cost of the very product (the prime cost represents all the costs of the production). Otherwise, the company will have trouble staying afloat. Why is it necessary to know about fixed and variable costs and also know how to distinguish between them? Everything boils down to the fact that variable costs can be controlled more easily: for instance, if your supplier increases exceedingly the price for, say, OPC drums you need for the YOUR ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION 3 GROUPS : O E M CO NSUMABLES CO MPAT IB L E CO NSUMABLES CO MPO NE NTS FO R INK AND L ASER CART RIDGES SOURCED DIRECTLY FROM THE BIG VARIETY OF THE BEST QUALITY WO RLDWIDE PRODUCERS WWW.BIUROMAX.COM.PL [email protected], tel.: +48 22 735 4444 Products: TO NERS IN BAGS AND BARRELS (ALSO BOT TLED),TONERS FO R CO PIERS, LASER TO NERS, BULK INKS, DRUMS, BLADES, CHIPS , SEALS, FILMS FO R FAXES, FIXING FILMS,PL ASTIC PARTS FO R LASER CART RIDGES, RO LLERS (CHARGE RO LLERS, FUSER RO LLERS, MAGNETIC RO LLERS) facts&opinions remanufacturing activity, you will certainly discuss the issue. If there is no way out, you will change your supplier. In case of fixed costs, the problem of cost growth is more difficult: if the pay for the staff is to be increased because of the inflation, you cannot stop this from happening as you are running the risk that the staff may simply leave the company. Fixed costs, however, are to be minimized as much as possible. If not, their growth can strongly affect the net profit of the company. EXTRA CHARGE AND MARGIN Here I would introduce two more terms in the body of this article: they are extra-charge and margin. Sometimes, these terms are used as perfect synonyms, but they are not. Extracharge is the sum added to the cost of the product when the product is sold. Margin is the profit from sale of a product. These are calculated as follows: Extra-charge = (Retail Price – Prime Cost / Prime Cost)*100%. For example, the remanufacturing of a laser cartridge at the price of USD 30 with the costs (parts, toner, fixed costs) amounting to USD 15 shows that the extracharge is (30-15)/15*100% = 100%. Note that when the cost of the product is doubled, the extra-charge is 100%, and not 200%. CASE: A company LaserCartridge could decrease its costs for spare parts through negotiation with the supplier. It allowed the company to lower the final price of the remanufactured cartridge (refilling + replacement of important parts in a cartridge) for HP1010 cartridges by 20% without any deterioration in quality. But, after having analyzed the prices of the competition and spoken with the biggest customers, the company did not decrease the price, leaving them on the same level as the competitors. This decision was conditioned by the reaction of the customers to low priced services: they thought low price is a sign of low quality. As a result, the diminishment of costs allowed increasing the net profit of the company. Margin = (Retail Price – Prime Cost / Retail Price)*100%. If we continue with the above example, the margin (profit) brought from the remanufacturing of the cartridge at the price of USD 30 will be: (30-15)/30*100%= 50% Distribution and price Sometimes, the determination of the price is influenced by the distribution model in place. Companies, which are distributors, often prefer to sell their products through a number of sales agents or through, even, big commercial centers. If this is your case, then it’s time to think about the end user of your product. In other words, the product must be offered at a price accessible to the 56 | RechargEast Magazine, June’08 | www.rechargeast.com end user, who buys the product from the agent’s catalogue or at the mall. There are also companies that decide to open their own shops and sell products without any go-between. These companies suppose that their margin can be eaten up by intermediaries. It may be true, but it is also important to consider the placement and promotion costs as well as time necessary to advertise the product. PRICE OF YOUR PRODUCT If your company manufactures ready offshelf remanufactured c a r t r idge s, t he determination of the price for the product could be built of a number of components: Retail price of product = cost of raw materials + labor cost + your margin/profit + VAT + fixed costs. Raw materials – it’s usually easy to determine the costs of all parts, including the empty, necessary for remanufacturing of a cartridge. But be aware of defected parts. Their cost should be also taken into account and added to the total of raw material costs. What should the price of compatible laser cartridge of the X brand be in the electronics supermarkets A? If your company is an exclusive distributor of X-branded laser cartridges and you have an agreement with an electronics supermarket A, you want to know how much your cartridge will cost if bought in the supermarket. You would also know how much the end user will have to pay for and whether the price is ok. Suppose the compatible ready-for-sale cartridge is bought for USD 10/each from your supplier. Your extracharge is 85%, the VAT is 15%. So, you may sell your cartridge at the price of: Your product’s retail price = Cost + Extra-charge +VAT=10+8.5+2.77 = USD 21.77. The price may be rounded down to USD21.50 or up to USD21.99. Your price for the supermarket will be lower (say, there will be no or return of VAT + some discounts) and will be USD 18. Do not forget to compare your and your competitors’ prices. Then, find out about the extracharge of the supermarket and see whether the final retail price is ok to your customer. At the extra-charge of 50% of the supermarket plus the VAT, the final price of your cartridge would be USD 31. Labor costs – these include the cost of the labor of your staff needed to produce a ready and functional cartridge as well as other taxes (social insurance, for instance, and pension fund – these may amount to extra +50% to the payroll). ADVERTISE IN RechargEast Magazine - RECHARGEAST IS YOUR PATHWAY TO SUCCESS RechargEast Magazine COVERS RUSSIA, CIS COUNTRIES, EASTERN AND CENTRAL EUROPE. www.rechargeast.com facts&opinions Your margin – a margin is to be added up to the cost of the product. This is the actual profit for the company. Specialists in price formation advise the margin should be increased by additional 5-10% so as to create a special fund for future projects (purchase of a new line, expansion). VAT – the value-added tax is also a part of the retail price of the product. Fixed costs – the retail price of your product is to cover all your fixed costs. It is necessary to know to calculate the share of fixed costs for each unit by using this: Jump start your company's growth in Central and Eastern Europe September 25-26, 2008 Prague, Czech Republic Fixed costs per unit = the total of fixed costs / Q-ty of products (for example, with fixed costs amounting to USD 1000 per month with the production volume of 500 cartridges monthly, the share of fixed costs for each cartridge will be equal to USD 2). It’s also worth noting that these calculations work only when all products are sold and not stocked. PRICE OF YOUR SERVICE If it is rather easy to get precise figure when producing, digits come up not so smoothly while offering a service. For example, laser cartridge refilling is a service. The customer brings an empty cartridge and wants to have it full and workable. How much should this refilling service cost when the specialist uses his toner and time? Here, my tip is to determine the price according to the number of worked hours plus the cost of the raw (it’s toner in our case) plus the margin plus the VAT (worked hours + toner + margin + VAT). Disassembling a cartridge is not a problem. But any technical specialist knowing well his job will check all fragile parts, refill and, then, test the cartridge. This all takes time. Thus, with the price of a toner tube of USD 5 (let’s say we need the whole tube for the refilling process), the technician needed 30 min. Suppose the technician gets USD10 per hour, your margin is 50%, then we’ve got: Refilling = USD 5 + USD 5 + your margin (5+5)*50% + 15% VAT = USD 17.25. www.ReEuropeExpo.com But there is a little “but” over here. The final price does not give any insight as to how much time and effort plus additional expenses were spent while negotiating with the toner supplier and shipping the toner to your company’s premises. You searched; called; negotiated…This is all time and money. Therefore, the possible price for this refilling might be around USD 19-20.
